With thanks to Charlotte, it is now 505-basted and waiting for me to quilt it. We basted it on her design wall (a new technique to me) which meant we did not hurt our knees. She really is the most cleverererest person I know!

That is all I can report on the Mod Sampler. I'm so pleased the hard part is done -- I hate the basting! Question - how should I quilt this? And place your bets on me getting it finished in the next 11 days (quilting and binding)!

I love 505 spray! Although I've only ever done a little quilt with it. I would probably need someone clever like Charlotte to help me do a lovely big one like this! Can't wait to see it all quilted up - and of course I believe you will do it in the next 11 days!

I was glad to read that you dislike basting - me too! Just a question, do you only spray baste, or use pins (or something else!) too? I just finished quilting (FMQ) a quilt and I don't think my basting was good enough (I had a few puckers in the top). I sprayed and used curved pins (though admittedly I could have put in a few more pins - they were about 4 inches apart). Should this have been good enough? Perhaps I'm pulling on the quilt too much when I quilt? Any suggestions? I'll search your blog for any posts on basting and quilting!
